I stopped eating sweets decades ago, but when young I was partial to a sherbet fountain.

I still find cola bottles hard to beat, maybe with the odd fizzy version for variety

I remember putting a whole tube in my mouth and frothing like a rabid dog.

Actually I don't mind the liquorice but the pure sugar colours icing is grim.

You'd have had a field day mid-late January here. My local grocery store over-bought and they had boxes and boxes left at least until the end of Jan and maybe into Feb, with the price being something like $2.50. I did one one old time's sake.
Being the 'old man' that I am, I have a massive pack of these in my kitchen...

I also love Callard and Bowser toffees but they get heat damaged when they are shipped here.

Cant beat wine gums. Plus not as easy to choke to death on as some of the other nominees on this thread.
